WEBVTT THIS IS A WEATHER NOW UPDATE. TAKING A LIVE LOOK OUTSIDE AS WE CONTINUE TO TRACK A WINTER STORM MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. ROADS REMAIN WET ACROSS MOST OF THE METRO. TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY THOSE SURFACE AND PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES, WILL CONTINUE TO DROP THROUGH MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SEE TROUBLES REALLY FROM HERE ON OUT THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. OTHER PLACES ALREADY SEEING PROBLEMS. DODGE COUNTY, THIS IS HIGHWAY 275. THAT IS SNOW. THIS WILL BE HIGHWAY 81 JUST OUTSIDE COLUMBUS. THEY ARE IN SEEING FOR MOST OF THE MORNING, ACTUALLY -- THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE ONE OF THE LOWER ACCUMULATIONS. WE WILL START TO SEE SOME AROUND HERE I THINK VERY SOON. LET'S GO TO RADAR RIGHT NOW. LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF EASTERN NEBRASKA. NOT QUITE, BUT THE PINK SHOWING AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET MIXED IN. FOR THE MOST PART, IT'S RAIN HITTING THE SURFACE THAT WOULD RE-FREEZING IF WE DID NOT HIS 60 DEGREES IN OMAHA YESTERDAY. TEMPERATURES STILL UP FOR NOW, BUT OMAHA PUBLIC WORKS CREWS REPORTING AT NOON TODAY. THEY WILL BE OUT ON THE ROAD FOR THE REST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. RAIN CONTINUES FOR THE EAST AND ARE OFF TO OUR SOUTH, BUT THESE ARE ALSO AREAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING THAT ARE LIKELY TO SEE SIGNIFICANT ICE ACCUMULATIONS FROM THAT FREEZING RAIN. THAT WAS VERY NOISY, REALLY HARD TO INDICATE WHERE THE SNOW IS HAPPENING, WHERE THE RAIN IS HAPPENING. THIS IS CORRELATION COEFFICIENT. THESE ARE ALSO HELPFUL IN THE WINTERTIME. WE'RE LOOKING FOR AREAS OF UNIFORM PRECIPITATION, INDICATED IN THIS DARK MAROON COLOR. AROUND HERE, AROUND THE METRO OUT TOWARD SAUNDERS COUNTY, RAIN OR FREEZING, THESE ARE LOW LEVELS OF CORRELATION COEFFICIENT, MELTING SNOWFLAKES, EVEN SOME SLEEP THE INDICATED AND RECORDED OUT NEAR FREMONT -- EVEN SOME SLEET INDICATED AND RECORDED OUT NEAR FREMONT. HEAVY SNOW, LOW VISIBILITY, AND, OF COURSE, SLICK ROADS IN SPOTS. TEMPERATURES STILL RIGHT AT THE FREEZING POINT. OMAHA MUCH COLDER TO THE WEST AND NORTH, BUT IT'S THE PAVEMENT TEMPERATURES WERE CONCERNED WITH THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY, AND THAT NUMBER LIKELY TO DROP AS WE'VE HAD ALL THIS RAIN AROUND THE METRO. YOU ARE PROBABLY STILL OK AROUND THE METRO SO FAR. A COUPLE OF UPDATES SINCE WE WERE LAST ON AIR AT 11:00 A.M. IF YOU'RE GOING NORTH ON 75, A LOT OF PINK SHOWING UP, MEANING COMPLETELY COVERED ROADS, AND THAT'S LIKELY JUST ICE. THEY HAD EXTENDED PERIODS OF FREEZING RAIN IN THOSE AREAS. AS YOU ARE HEADED WEST AND NORTHWEST AROUND NORFOLK, THAT WAS MAINLY SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW IN SOME SPOTS. NOT ONLY ARE WE SEEING RAIN, FREEZING RAIN, AND YOU KNOW, THERE'S A 15 MILE PER HOUR WIND IN SOME SPOTS. WE HAVE TO GET OUTSIDE THE METRO TO RUN INTO TRAVEL TROUBLES. I EXPECT THOSE TO PICK UP CLOSE AT A HOME WITHIN THE NEXT TWO OR THREE HOURS. WE WILL UP EIGHT YOU ON OUR KETV WEATHER APP. IF WE MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE FORECAST, YOU CAN GET THEM ON THAT APP FOR YOUR APPLE OR ANDROID DEVICE AS WELL. OF COURSE, WE WILL CONTINUE TO UPDATE KETV.COM. ALL THAT INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE ARE BACK IN ANOTHER 56 MINUTES. WE WILL SEE YOU AT 1:00 P.M.
